Improvements:

• Added automatic banning of linked accounts. The new `ban_alts` option accepts four different values with escalating levels of enforcement: Disabled, Enabled, Enhanced, and Extreme. By default, it is disabled.
• Added configurable filter duration for linked accounts (`dupeip_scan_filter_duration: 7d`), which is intended to prevent or reduce false positives by ensuring that only recent IP addresses are scanned with /alts, or when banning accounts automatically as mentioned above.
• Added template flags, which can be used to automatically add command flags and server scopes to specific templates and/or ladder steps. For example, you can make a template always execute global and silent punishments by setting `flags: '-g -s'`.
• Added support for webhook inline fields for embeds (optional).
• Added /checkwarn command which allows you to check specific warnings by player name or UUID.
• Added /warnlist command which allows you to scroll through all warnings.
• Added unwarn messages & entries to /history and /staffhistory.
• Added `online_mode` option to config.yml (to specify whether players who have never joined the server before should be handled as premium or non-premium players).
• Added `mode:deactivate` and exclude options for `/litebans reset-database`.
• (BungeeCord) Optimized ServerConnectEvent listener - database queries will no longer be performed in this context under any conditions.

Fixes:

• Fixed unban/unmute/unwarn webhooks inheriting silent state from the punishment instead of checking whether the operation is silent.
• Fixed hex colours not working in lockdown kick messages - reconnect messages unaffected.
• Fixed variables such as `playerBans` not working in webhook embed messages.

Minor improvements:

• Added new reset_database messages to messages.yml.
• Added messages for unsuccessful loading of templates.yml. If templates.yml is invalid, you will receive a message each time commands are used, as a reminder to fix your configuration.
• Added error handling for incorrectly configured URLs from webhooks.yml.
• When a name-banned or name-muted player attempts to join, their punishment ID will be logged to console.
• The `litebans cleariphistory` command has been replaced with the `litebans unlink` command which serves the same purpose.
• When the console receives a click event JSON message, the command or URL will be sent to console with the message.
• Chat event priority used by LiteBans is now low (instead of lowest) on all platforms.

Minor fixes:

• Fixed /banlist and /mutelist displaying one less page (page #0).
• Fixed unban queueing not unbanning accounts when `ban_names` is enabled, a player has a banned name and the UUID joining the server was not banned.
• Fixed permission error message not being updated on reload under Bungee.
• Fixed hex colours not being translated for permission error messages sent by the platform.
• Fixed bracket character being added to `start_no_ip` dupeip-on-join messages (/alts unaffected).
• Fixed a harmless warning message on newly created MariaDB databases.
• Fixed timezone offsets not applying correctly to $timeSince in unban/unmute/unwarn messages.
• Fixed an error caused by empty commands specified in the configuration (none by default).
• Fixed an error caused by server names or scopes that are configured or specified above the already documented 32 character limit.

2.16.1:


Fixes:

• Fixed login timestamps not being updated if the IP is unchanged (missing alts fix).
• Fixed /alts or /dupeip not showing the original account if they haven't joined within `dupeip_scan_filter_duration`.
• Fixed webhook routes handling 'on' / 'true' as an invalid URL.
• Fixed webhook embed messages interpreting colour codes & hex colours which made it impossible to tag channels.
• Fixed a mute bypass involving cheat clients (Velocity only).
• Fixed some notifications being throttled indefinitely (until next reload/restart) if throttling is enabled and the plugin was reloaded.

Minor fixes:

• Fixed /banlist sometimes showing an empty page (only if the number of bans is divisible by the number shown per page) since version 2.16.
• Fixed some caches being kept a few hours longer than intended if the plugin was reloaded.

2.16.2:



Fixes:

• Fixed error on warning modification (`/warn -m`) for players that lack `litebans.group.unlimited` or similar permissions. (Console unaffected)
• Fixed cross-server kicks (via /kick command only) not working as intended on Bedrock users.
• Fixed messages combining hover text and click events (run/url) having bugged text. (Velocity unaffected)

Minor improvements:

• Support MySQL 9.x for creating database indexes (if you recently upgraded from MySQL 8.x, the indexes have likely been created already). This does not impact MariaDB.
• When excluding tables from database reset, the history and config tables will be kept.
• Added additional data limits to prevent errors from incorrect usage of commands. For example, usernames larger than the username character limit will be truncated.
• Embeds can now have no content if inline fields are specified.
• Support player variables in GeoIP messages.
• If delete_warnings_after_action is enabled, warnings will only be cleared upon the final action being executed rather than the first.
• If messages.yml failed to load, you will be notified of this each time a command is used, not only on startup.
• Improved robustness of table upgrade check on servers that cannot upgrade normally under very rare, unknown circumstances (possibly DB crash or hardware error related).

Minor fixes:

• Fixed reset chat colour (&r) appearing specifically in webhook fields when referencing the executor variable.
• Fixed chat colours not being removed (generally from prefixes/suffixes) specifically in embed messages.
• Fixed random ID hex colour prevention (#$id) applying to webhook embed messages, which do not use colours.
• Fixed colour codes not being removed in webhook embed inline fields.
• Fixed IP addresses which have never joined the server before being displayed as #offline# instead of ip_hidden.

2.16.3:

Important fixes:

• Fixed new global punishments not being applied correctly since version 2.16.2 (Velocity unaffected)

Fixes:

• Fixed proxy_switch_banned chat messages not being delivered under Bungee for server scoped bans.

2.16.4:

Fixes:

• Fixed `litebans reset-database` not working since version 2.16.2.
• Fixed disabled webhooks using the default webhook on Bungee/Velocity.
  

Minor improvements:

• The `litebans reset-database` confirm message now quotes all arguments for confirmation, not just the server scope.
• Added warning message for unrecognized settings (ban_alts)
  

Minor fixes:

• Fixed hex colour codes not being removed in webhook messages.
